24 | Why I bought my buy-to-let in a limited company
Hello everyone! 👋
As this email comes out (thank you auto-scheduling), I'll be starting to fly back from sunny Tenerife after a week off. As I get back to the UK, hopefully the buy-to-let progress has kept momentum.
On Tuesday 7th I've got a meeting with the independent solicitor to talk through the personal guarantee I mentioned last week and then I'm hand delivering it to the main solicitor in Sheffield. Hopefully this is the last bits of paperwork needed to complete the purchase!

🏡 The World of Property
I read a great little article in the Financial Times this week talking in a bit more detial about the house boom outside of cities as homeworking becomes more common.
I'm experiencing this myself - I've lived in London for 6 years and ready to sell up, I'm hoping to get the flat valued in January ready to put on the market and move to pastures new.
My 9-5 job is also beginning to go back into the office in October which at the moment the rumours are mentioning 2 days a week on Friday's and Monday's in the city(Goodbye weekends!), so remote working is more on my mind and I'm speaking to a few companies about opportunities.

👋 Hey Reader It's been a busy few months, so I've been a little quiet on emails. We finally moved into the big renovation project outside of London after a stressful 8 month conveyancing process and the house almost falling through (classic). Planning permission has been submitted and we're starting to rip out the house, however living in a project that you're doing up is always tricky with logistics! After we bought the house, a house 4 doors down the road sold for £1.5m in cash to a famous...
👋 Hey friends Premier Property Lawyers are still being the biggest pain in the bum in our property sale. My buyers mortgage expires in 3 weeks and they keep raising endless menial enquiries at the last minute that keeps holding us back. I repeat my advice from the last newsletter - never ever use any of the conveyancing brands under the Simplify group. They're awful. In other news - the property market has took an incredible flip over the past few weeks, we really did not expect interest...
